Yojimbo (1961)
Criterion 48/24 FLAC synced to Toho Blu-Ray
Per Moshrom
"...the Criterion mono track, which has been restored surprisingly well -- the Toho mono mix has so much tape noise that it sounds like it's raining in every scene"
I thiiiiink he meant the Criterion Blu-ray. I haven't heard either Criterion DVD releases so I can't vouch for them.
PM if interested!

2.0 mono
Synced to the Region 1 Blu-ray
The Blu-ray's audio is muffled by noise reduction. The DVD is considerably better.

Hello from lock down Los Angeles. I am fairly new to the world of Fan Edits/Fan Restorations etc. Though I have been collecting concert audio and video recordings for MANY years. Some of the reasons I collect those apply to the edits found here. I collect concerts because A) I like the music and B) See A. It all started with wanting copies of the shows I attended. Progressed to recording shows myself then trading and on and on. People ask why do you have some 800 Springsteen recordings? I look at each show as history. One show is not the same as the next , something small happens to make that show unique. Plus I am what is called a "completeist"(sp?). Any way what I think applies here is that fans TRUE fans when they see something they can maybe improve on do so and in doing so, do (so many do's) a so much better job than the studios. Because they do it form a fans view rather than a marketing view . This is what I appreciate from the editors. All the work and effort put in to the project. And these days with the lock downs, especially here in California. Without being able to go to theatres the edits make time go by so much more enjoyable. So in advance I would like to thank all the editors for their work and efforts. A few of my favorite editors are Dr. Saperstein, Mainiac, TM2YC and MBTM. But I have enjoyed all the edits from everyone that I have watched.

| Evil Dead II LD Track Synced To UHD BR |

I obtained the track elsewhere, that has been synced to the 25th Aniv' BR, but I can't seem to sync it myself to the recent UHD release.
Trimming and matching the track is fine for a few minutes, but then goes out of sync again.
Anyone with the right software tools and know-how fancy taking up the task ?
Shoot me a message if you need the track.

This project uses the Open Matte 1080P webrip of Panic Room, together with all of the extra features from the 3 disc DVD set, including the Easter eggs.
This project was another unique challenge as the DVD uses multiple angles on some of the special features, something that was rare on DVD but even rarer on blu ray - so much that the authoring software I use does not support it directly. In order to achieve it I had to use java code and thankfully a friend who is very well versed in java programming blu rays worked it out for me - it now switches perfectly with the red button on your remote.

Wizarding World: Ultimate Definitive Edition |

This is meant to be a definitive version package for the Wizarding World movies and took 2 years to make.
These versions include maximum picture, through overlaying all the different sources (Widescreen and Open Matte DVD and WEB masters), maximum runtime by restoring deleted and extended scenes (credit for some of the restored VFX scenes by JJPotter in FB1,3 & HP 3&7a). 5.1 Audio, and everything enhanced to true sharp 4K thanks to A.I., all encoded in very high bitrate H.265 for maximum quality preservation (70~100GB+/movie).
Theatricals Total Runtime: 26 hours, 29 minutes, 7 seconds
Extended Total Runtime: 28 hours, 4 minutes, 51 seconds
You get 01:35:44 hours of extended scenes. That's nearly a whole film's worth of extra content.
Full resolution Comparisons:
Not only you can see more picture and detail, but you'll notice that many of the 4K masters are overexposed to the point detail gets completely blown away in brighter spots.
Manual color correction was also done in many scenes to fix shortcomings of the official 4K BDs. Like the Slytherin common room being actually green instead of blue in CoS, as it was on the normal BD, something they messed up later regrading the movie for 4K. Many more small instances like these are scattered throughout the pack.
Notes:
Code: These releases includes:
• 4 Versions, Theatrical & Extended, with proper SDR and HDR masters for each.
• 4K Picture in Ultra HD Blu-Ray bitrate.
• Dynamic Aspect Ratio
• Maximum Expanded Ratio, more picture than ever seen before at once, achieved through the overlaying of multiple sources.
• Fully Subtitled
• Lossless 7.1 Audio for theatrical and 5.1 for Extended.
These are not perfect by any means nor will I pretend they are, so please DO NOT pester this thread pointing out stuff, it's a waste of your energy and time. I am aware of everything and I will likely never revisit this again. This is offered as it is. Know that I have done my absolute best, any present issues that remain simply mean I could not do anything about, didn't have the skills, resources, technology, or wasn't humanely reasonable trying to tackle (unfinished VFX in some deleted scenes, colors, detail and frame discrepancies in-between sources too stark to adjust/blend etc).
I will also probably never make v2s. Though if anyone feels like they can improve and build on this work they are free to do so, as long as credit is given.
FAQ:
-Why are there weird blurred rectangles at the corners of most scenes?
~Basic geometry, the extra picture is achieved by overlaying different sources with different ARs (DVD, BD, 16:9 Open Matte, check https://imgsli.com/MzQ1NjI/2/1), the areas of the picture that isn't covered by any of the sources remains blank but is filled through a technique called "ambilight". As mentioned one of the main points of this project is to present as much picture publicly made available throughout all formats.
-Why are FB 1, 3 and HP3 only in 1600p
~These movies were not released in true open matte formats anywhere, meaning no extra picture can be restored. Yes there is an amazon copy of HP3 labelled as "Open Matte" but that is entirely pan&scan. Meaning no extra picture compared to the widescreen version is present at any point. Also 1600p and not 2160p because 2160p-black bars=1600p, since I encoded these while cropping out the black bars, so that the bitrate is focused on the actual picture and not spread and wasted on the black bars, causing also unnecessary size bloat.
-Why isn't the audio for the extended versions in 7.1?
~I don't have the means to work in 7.1.
-Why is the AR (Aspect Ratio) shifting almost every scene?
~Please refer to FAQ point 1. Again has to do with basic geometry and the way the different open matte masters were framed related to each other. This is called Dynamic AR. What you should know most importantly is that the AR shifts in order to fit and make sure absolutely all picture available is shown at all times. There is no cropping at any point. Unlike in all singular official releases. Example: Widescreen has horizontal picture Open Matte DVD doesn't. DVD has vertical Picture the WS and 16:9 Open Matte doesn't, and vice-versa respectively. This version combines all of them and you are always 100% sure you see everything at all times in every single scene.
-Why do some scenes appear darker and duller in the preview screenshots?
~As mentioned the screenshots used for the comparisons are done with automatic HDR to SDR mapping by MadVR, so color and brightness representation isn't accurate in these screens. The HDR copies will look exactly as intended on an HDR screen. If you don't have an HDR compatible screen and player, I advise you watch the SDR masters, which I also included.
The TrueMAX HDR masters were graded at around 1K nits, compared to the ~300-600 range on the 4K BDs. So the screenshots appear darker compared to the 4K BDs after going through MadVR SDRtoHDR which was used for the sake of making these comparisons. Ideally I would had used screenshots from the SDR masters, but since there are no official 4K BD SDR releases, it was fairer to compare both TrueMAX and 4K BD in their (SDR approximate) HDR forms. This is also why some details in the darker area might seem crushed in TrueMAX as compared to the 4K BD, but in reality they are not, and it's just as a result of the compromise MadVR had to make to convert the image from HDR to SDR.
However, on the opposite side of this, I checked and the details lost in the bright overexposed areas of the 4K BD do remain lost even when watching on an HDR screen.
Moral of the story: With TrueMAX you get both best shadow and light definition. Nothing is overexposed (like in the 4K BD), nothing is crushed.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to make an encode of these files to put out elsewhere, contact me first and please credit and include this post's information.
Very special thanks to mgold for the Fullscreen DVDs, fres202 for his tapes, JJPotter and his edits (check them out), and SHM for hosting.
